Requiem for Rhinoceros: Nabire’s Dream
David Nunez
Project presented with support from the Opera of the Future Group at the MIT Media Lab
A installation and performance commemorating the final days of the nearly-extinct Northern White Rhino, “Requiem for Rhinoceros: Nabire's Dream" will call attention to the four white rhinos that exist on earth today by giving flight to robotic puppet effigies. This collaborative and participatory performance will highlight the need for conservation of this critically endangered species and investigate our collective empathic responses.
